"I don't think I'm allowed to kill something because I am frightened." —Nikki Giovanni 💔 #poem #poems #poetry
I killed a spider
Not a murderous brown recluse
Nor even a black widow
And if the truth were told this
Was only a small spider
Sort of papery spider
Who should have run
When I picked up the book
But she didn't
And she scared me
And I smashed her

I don't think
I'm allowed

To kill something

Because I am

Frightened.

Happy Saturday! For #BlackHistoryMonth, I’m highlighting Black poets who inspired me. Starting with Langston Hughes—his work, especially “Harlem”, “Weary Blues” and “Let America Be America Again” shaped me as a poet if you haven’t read them you should. New poems below. #poetry #poems #blueskypoets

For #womenshistorymonth today I celebrates the life and legacy of Maya Angelou—poet, activist, and author of Still I Rise and I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings. Her words continue to inspire strength and resilience. Here’s some new poems from me. #blueskypoets #poems #poetry
A poem about loss and lingering memories, where the past refuses to fade. The speaker calls out but is met with silence, haunted by echoes of what once was.
A poem about avoiding hard truths. It confronts the fear of seeing what’s painful, the cost of looking away, and the weight of silence
A poem about quiet defiance and self-discovery. It reflects on standing apart, questioning the world, and finding strength in stillness.
A poem about love and warmth. It captures a quiet, golden moment of peace, where joy lingers without pain or loss.

Today for #BlackHistoryMonth, I celebrate Tupac Shakur, yes that Tupac. While many poets leave volumes, his one masterpiece, “The Rose That Grew from Concrete,” reshaped my soul. If you haven’t felt his raw vision, you’re missing out. New poems below. #poetry #blueskypoets #poems
